After all that elegance, we decided we needed some nature and wide open spaces to contemplate it all, so we cashed in Dave's coupon he won at a silent auction for a day and night at a polo resort an hour out of Buenos Aires....
The resort was a bit of a disappointment for me....the food and room and drinks were great, but I had pictured myself galloping around on the polo fields, maybe whacking a ball or two, mingling with polo folks....instead one was only allowed to slowly WALK older horses around the perimeter of the polo fields....
Besides her, the other thing we loved was all the squawking coming from the giant parrot nests in the eucalyptus trees around the place....
Your art pic for this week is a teaser for next week's blog entry of our time in the nearest town to the resort, Lujan...Alejandro Boim and three other artists had a great show at the Lujan Museo de Belles Artes
And for your food pic, Dave's birthday meal of a typical parilla plate.... barbecued steak, pork, chicken, sausages and other assorted meat served with lemon and chimichuri sauce, kept warm over a brazier. I wish this pic was scratch and sniff for you....
